Daniel Molls

School: Toledo

Position: OLB

Bio: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors as a senior after totaling 166 tackles/6 tackles for loss/2.5 sacks. Also intercepted three passes and broke up four more. Junior totals included 70 tackles after 143 as a sophomore.

Positive: Undersized yet hard-charging linebacker who sells out to make plays. Quick getting outside the numbers and cuts off the corners from running backs. Fires through the gaps up the field to make plays against the run, quickly changing direction, and has a closing burst to the play. Instinctive and does a terrific job diagnosing the action. Has good range in coverage.

Negative: Small and gets swallowed up by blocks. Inefficient and does not always take correct angles to the action. Not a strong open-field tackler.

Analysis: Molls is an intense defender who plays through the whistle and chases hard to get to the ballcarrier. He has size limitations, yet his intensity could help him catch on as a backup linebacker/special-teams ace for a one-gap defense.
